Professor Vivek Chibber discusses his new book, The Class Matrix, and the role that culture plays (and doesn’t play) in keeping workers from overturning an exploitative capitalist system. Paul Prescod debunks a new "pro-worker" proposal from Republicans to create workplace alternatives to unions, and Jen Pan takes a look at the various causes of the Great Resignation.

The Jacobin Show, hosted by Jen Pan, offers socialist perspectives on class and capitalism in the twenty-first century, the failures of liberalism, and the prospects of rebuilding a left labor movement in the US. This is the podcast version of the show from February 9, 2022.
